Sectors Dominant Economic Traits
• Maturity Stage
• Fierce Competition
• Competing on Price
• Difficult to grow in size
• Cyclical employment / development
• Expensive production costs and R & D
• No international barriers
Market Size and Growth
• Low-growth industry
• Highly saturated industry
• Orders are declining and being cancelled
• Focus: Try to expand market share
• If airline profits fall, orders will fall
Scope of Competitive Rivalry
• Boeing vs. Airbus
– MatureMarket
– Airline Price Leverage
– Cannot stop Production Line
– Price Discounting
• New market appearing (Bombardier)
Macroeconomic Issues
• U.S. Recession
